Understanding Painful Cramps
Menstrual cramps are caused by uterine contractions during menstruation. While mild cramping is common, severe pain that interferes with daily activities may require medical attention. Dysmenorrhea is classified into two types:
- Primary Dysmenorrhea – Pain associated with normal menstrual cycles, often starting in adolescence.
- Secondary Dysmenorrhea – Pain caused by underlying conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Symptoms of Painful Cramps
- Throbbing or cramping pain in the lower abdomen
- Pain radiating to the lower back and thighs
- Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness
- Fatigue and headaches
- Loose stools during menstruation
Causes of Menstrual Cramps
- Prostaglandin Imbalance – High levels of prostaglandins cause stronger uterine contractions, leading to pain.
- Endometriosis – Abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus can intensify cramps.
- Uterine Fibroids – Benign growths in the uterus may trigger discomfort.
- Pelvic Infections – Infections in the reproductive organs can lead to painful inflammation.
- Cervical Stenosis – Narrowing of the cervix can obstruct menstrual flow, causing increased pressure and pain.
Treatment Approaches
Dr. Kunda Shahane offers comprehensive treatment plans based on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms:
- Medications – Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and hormonal therapies to reduce cramps and regulate cycles.
